GOOD ROADS
Sallisaw, Okla., July 31—
Wednesday was another big
day in the history of Sequoyah
county. The towns of Sailisaw
and Hanson are eight miles
apart and Wednesday every
store and bank in both towns
closed their places of business
and met the farmers along the
line between the two towns on
road duty. By actual count
there were eighty-five teams at
work on the road and the pick,
shovel and ax men numbered
500. It has proven by far the
best good roads day ever held in
the county. In the various
crews were counted twelve bank-
ers, fourteen lawyers and seven
ministers of the gospel.
Dinner was served at numer-
ous places along the line of work
by the women of the two towns.
Wagons bearing ice water drove
to and fro from each starting
point and taken as a whole it has
proven the most successful
public working day ever held in
this section of the state. This
is the third day this kind ob-
served in this county during the
present month and on each of
the other two days farmers were
hanging back and 'the workmen
have beenjshort of teams. They
have referred to them as auto-
mobile days and have taken very
little if any part in the work.
Wednesday, ^however, this was
all changed and the farmers
turneji out in iull force and
every member of the Good
Roads club is rejoicing. i
One farmer said: "We farm-
ers have come to the conclusion
that we cannot afford to have
our roads in such shape that an
automobile cannot travel them."
Another one said: "I have
horse sense enough to know
that men and not horses.must
improve the country and if you
automobile men want better
roads and will help us make
them we will drive the horses
over them even if a few of them
do get scared."
The eight miles of road under-
taken Wednesday was an ex-
ceptionally hard one to build and
notwithstanding the good turn
out the work was not finished,
but so much good was done and
such good feeling prevailed that
word was passed along the line
and all agreed upon next Wed-
nesday as another free labor day
and on that date the two towns
will again close up shop and the
Sallisaw-Hanson pike will be
finished.—The Daily Oklahoman
The above was handed us by
Mr. R. A. Wolters, who paid
Oklahoma a visit on his recent
trip. He thinks a plan of this
kind could be worked with advan-
tage to Schulenburg and com
m unity. If we would follow
this example we are sure much
good would result.

NEW BRIDGE CHRISTENED
A number of Schulenburg
citizen were met by a crowd of
citizens from Engle, Freyburg
and vicinity Tuesday afternoon
at the new steel bridge across
Rocky Creek on the Engle-Frey-
burg road which 4 s jasfc beea*
completed by Mr. Hy. Borchers
for the purpose of Christening
it and declaring it open to the
public.
Upon motion by 'Squire E. R.
Vogt it was unanimously agreed
that the brid'ge be called the
"Krenek-Grasshoff" bridge in
honor of Messrs. Anton Krenek
of Engle and Paul Grasshoff of
Freyburg who aided so mater-
ially in establishing and erecting
it. The honor of Christening
the new structure was confer-
red upon Mr. Fred Brunes
(Uncle Sam). After the cere-
mony lunch and refreshments
were served by the good ladies-
A pleasant time was had.
The new bridge, which is a
large and substantial one, will
fill a long felt want for that
section.
HALLETTSV1ALE WON
The game went to Hallettsville
Sunday when by all rights should
have been Schulenburg's.
Baker, an imported pitcher
from Cuero, pitched himself out
of three tight places, and it was
the inability of the home players
to hit him when hits count which
cost the game, although our
boys got five hits.
Utzmann, from Lockhart,
claimed to be a J''cracker jack",
failed to deliver the goods for
Schulenburg and was wild at
times and was relieved in the
sixth inning by Yeager.
The score was five to eight in
favor of the visitors.

people "that r plans each year to
spend from $1,000 to $1,200 in ad-
vertising—a sum equal, if not
greater than, the salary of any one
of tbeir salesmen. Their manager
considers his advertising space his
most efficient salesmen, and his ad-
vertisements each week are prepar-
ed with rare care and judgment.
For $20 or $25 a month any mer-
chant in a small town can use half
a page in his local paper, or a
quarter-page in proposition, 8nd
change his J advertisement each
week. He can thus, with no great
expense, send into a thousand
homes in his trade territory each
week a convincing, business.pulling
message; for there is hardly a
town in the Southwest of 2,000
population but has at least one pa
per of 1,000 or more circulation.
There is no other means by which
he can get such a message into
those homes for as little cost. And
fifty-two such messages, conscienti-
ously prepared and conscientiously
lived up to, cannot fail to pay for
themselves over and. over during
the year in added profits.
THE SMALL-T0NN MERCHANT AND
ADVERTISING
Until recently the average mer-
chant in the towns and smaller
cities has thought that money
spent in advertising was an invest-
ment of doubtful profit. Every-
body in the community, the terri-
tory from which his trade must
come, already knew he was in busi-
ness, knew what sort of goods he
sold and on what terms. If he
did any advertising at all it was a
kind of general announcement in the
spring, and again in the fall, that
he was still "doing the same kind
of business at the same old stand."
But a few progressive spiritsin
very recent years have come alive
to the fact that the small town
merchant can use advertising space
to advantage. [In fact, [many of
them are doing it, and their num-
ber is increasing. I know of one

FATS AND LEANS
Those who attend the fat and
lean base ball game Sunday aft-

come out 'and have a good and
at the same time help out the
base ball boys. The admission
will be, gentlemen 25c, ladies lOc
and children 5c.

A grand ball will be given at

Prof- G. A. Stierling and
Judge Duncan of LaGrange were
in the city Tuesday in behalf of
the school tax at the invitation
of'alfew friends. Judge Duncan
made a brief address at the
show through Ithe courtesy of
Dr. Grubs, who is in charge of
the company.
SCHOOL TAX ABOLISHED
The election Wednesday last
to 'abrogate the school Jtax of
12Hc Jon the $100 carried by a
majority vote of 20.
There were 187 votes cast, 103
for abrogating the tax and 83
against. One ticket was declar-
ed void.
Those who favor good first-
Mass schools regret this very
much. A first class up-to-date
school is the best asset and
drawing cord any town can have.
While our school is very good we
are far behind La Grange, Fla-
tonia and even smaller commun-
ities, which condition is deplor-
able.
Those who have taken the ini-
tiative in all movements toward
a good school are getting tired
of forever begging for every-
thing needed for the school and
this defeat will make them lose
what pride and patriotism they
now possess.
Of course 'those who voted
to abrogate the tax a,re as much
entitled to their opinion as those
on the other side and the Stick-
er, a strong advocate for good
schools, has no word of cansu re
against them.
We trust, though, in the near
future some amicable adjust-
ment of the prevailing condition
will result in one of the finest
schools in Fayette-county. .

Dr. E. B. Grubs, representing
and associated with the Garman-
American Doctors, with State
headquarters at 304M Main St
Houston, National offices and
labratories in Cincinnatti, Ohio,
is in~ t.he city advertising their
great m^clicine, Teutonia, and
placing it among the people. Dr.
Grubs carries with him to draw
and entertain the people a splen-
did company of performers com-
posed of ladies arid gentlemen-
The shows each night have been
good and well worth the price of
admission. The Doctor says
Teutonia is sold upon its own
merits and he doesn't bore the
audience each night with a long
talk, but simply tells you what
the medicine will do and asks
you to try it at his risk. No
benefit, no pay. Harwood will
be their next stop.
